I think the business showed its hand a bit when it made stars out of thieves with my music. The business knows that I have made great sacrifices, such as how I am now living, to give people a musical product that they could trust. It came from an honest life. It was written from a pure motive. They can't get that from an artist who sells out to them. On the other hand, they like the attitude of someone who sells out to them. The best setup for the business is to have music (or laughs) written by someone like me recorded and performed by people who are more interested in being stars than they are in being artists. And if the business is conscious of it, it can be their secret joke on the whole public - 'privileged information'.
My work has already been a success, and some people think I should just be happy with that. But I suffered for that work and I was never paid. How would you feel if you worked your ass off and didn't get your paycheque? Instead, maybe you were told of how someone else got your cheque and cashed it in and used to to rent hookers and throw a party on your doorstep so they could disturb your sleep as you lay awake from hunger? Would you be happy? That's not even a fraction of what happened to me. Besides, if I don't pursue some sort of legal settlement, everyone will think that I didn't get paid because I committed some unspeakable crime. I've learned that well in the last three years.
